I have returned.
Not that I went very far, mind you, but for anybody who actually cares (all... well, none of you probably), I'm back again. ^^
I went skiing. I forgot to mention that. My dad decided to have an impromptu "lets have a family outing!" thing, only without my mother, since she's down with bronchitis again. She didn't mind. Us out of the house was probably very relaxing for her. That way we weren't constantly breathing down her neck to *REST*. She probably got more rest with us gone. ^^ Anyway, so we went to Lake Tahoe (North Shore, if you're wondering), and stayed in probably the nicest, not horribly expensive motel I've ever stayed in up there. It even had a mini kitchen in the room.
Skiing itself was *really* good. The storm that just hit us left a ton of the loveliest powder I've ever had the privledge of skiing before in my life. We were at Squaw Valley, and at the peak (8200 ft), the snow was still flying, making things perfect. Well, except for the windburn I got on my cheeks, 'cause I'm an idiot and I forgot my ski goggles. Sunglasses don't make up for that lack. There were hardly any other people up there (people seem to think that all the snow will be gone in May. Silly them), and my brother and I enjoyed 5 hours of happy, skiing goodness.
Of course, now I'm sore as hell, but it's a good pain. ^^ And the windburn smarts a bit, but that'll teach me to forget my goggles.
I gambled a little too. Lost most of it. But I won $8 at the nickel slots, so those have become my gambling vice of choice. ^^
Okay, enough babble. I need to help my mom with dinner.
